Most CD-Writing software will have a mode called "MP3 CD". It's not really a data CD, nor is it a music CD. It has to have a playlist on it so the software on the HU can read the CD properly. There may be other ways to do it, but that's the only way I know how. I just use Roxio, it has all...

Actually I'm considering buying the exact same kit you mentioned. I've dealt with AutoToys before, so I know they are reputable. My concern is how the kit will actually look installed. They only have pictures of the kit loose, not installed. If you order the kit, take a picture of it...

I have the 983U and it's pretty nice.

I think you guys might be missing the point of this question. I'm sure the guy didn't purposely put his car in the ditch. The only way there should be any real damage is if the components were on when the car went under. If they were off all the way through the process of getting wet and...

I think the guy was joking with you. Pioneer is ok, I wouldn't say great, just ok. That's not what this thread is about- so let's not go into brand bashing, or defending. Condensation might be your problem. I doubt that it can build up on the lens or eye, but it can build up on a disc. Are...

DVD-rom device/ navigation processor and a screen. There are aftermarket systems available that come as kits with everything you need. You'll have to search as I don't know exactly which sites have them, or who makes them.

Ok first off Caps don't work. Second with only a 250/1 and a 125/2 amp, you shouldn't have anything to wrry about, although Civics typically have crappy power systems so you might be well off to upgrade your alternator or have it re-wound. Don't waste your money on a cap.

I guess it would work, depending on the "device" you get. It's a pretty stupid idea though, considering it's pretty easy to cut the power to your car before even getting in. This reminds me of that one time when some guy on here wanted to rig a device to electrocute an inturder in his car...

I don't have a MAC. I have PIV and use XP. Whenever I need to format I just boot to an XP CD I made. I know what you're saying' date=' most people still keep their floppy around for formatting, and to run DOS (why they do that is beyond me). And a floppy is not [b']required[/b] in any PC...

You still use floppies? Hell my computer doesn't even have a floppy drive in it.

They will probably make an adaptor for it, unfortunately you'll probably have to wait a couple years. Nobody ever jumps to make stuff for new cars, it always takes a while. Look at Metra- they have yet to make a kit for an Audi newer than a 2001.

I agree. I have the 983 and it kicks ass. You're right it doesn't have an EQ, but HU based eq's are a little overrated.

WTF? It almost seems like he hit new topic instead of reply, because it sounds like we caught the middle of a conversation.

Who really uses the remotes anyway? If you're too lazy to reach that extra 4" then that's sad. Actually I do agree with you that you get more for your money with JVC, as far as features and looks are concerned. But there is no doubt among the community here, and pretty much everyone that you...

That's a little subjective. What do you define as "more"?
